## Description

Stop doing manual math after a long day on the trail. This MCP gives your AI agent the specific tools it needs to process your hiking data accurately. Whether you're tracking progress on a specific loop or comparing different routes, you can hand your raw distance and time data to your AI client and get instant, usable metrics. It handles the heavy lifting of switching between kilometers and miles so you don't have to. You can also use it to double-check your logs, ensuring your recorded times and distances actually make sense for a human hiker. It's a simple way to turn messy trail notes into organized reports about your pace and effort.

## Tools

### convert_distance
This tool changes distance measurements between kilometers and miles.

### get_pace_metrics
This tool calculates your pace in both metric and imperial units using your distance and time.

### summarize_pace_report
This tool creates a readable summary of your hiking session and pace.

### validate_hiking_session
This tool checks your recorded time and distance to see if the data is physically possible.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I hiked 10 kilometers in 2 hours. What was my pace?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your pace was 12 min/km (or 19.34 min/mi).

```
Convert 5 miles to kilometers.
```

**Response:** 
```
5 miles is approximately 8.05 kilometers.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Summarize my hike: 5 km, 12 min/km pace, 12 min/mi pace, 60 minutes total.
```

**Response:** 
```
You hiked 5 km in 60 minutes at a pace of 12 min/km.
```
